Freedom of Expression

A reflection: is it possible that people, in spite of their saying that everybody should listen to and try to understand their interlocutor, in reality can only see situations from "their" point of view?
An example: If I tell you that you are hurting my feelings, wouldn't your answer immediately be, "I have to express myself in total freedom"? 
So? Does your right to total freedom of expression give you the right to ignore its consequences on someone else?
I leave the answer open (still wondering if there can be one).
